Barrel polishing

[kenfa03]

What and where can I get the supplies needed to polish my barrels?

[Skeeterbait]

I order from Brownells.com

I got mine from Natchez Shooters Supply.  The two items you'll need, from them, is Brownells J&B Bore Cleaner and Kroil.  You'll also need a stout cleaning rod that will except a 20 guage bore brush and some green scotch brite pads (Walmart) that you can cut to fit around the bore brush.  The last item will be a battery powered drill that will turn around 500-1000 rpm's and you'll be set.

Can someone reccomend a cleaning rod? I have one of the cheap 3 piece rods with t handle. Will it work?

It worked for me, but I only used two of the rods.  Just make sure you use a 20ga hull with the primer knocked out as a rod guide.  It wasn't mentioned, but you'll need a .410 brush as well to wrap the ScotchBrite around.

I ordered a flex hone from brownells with the oil. The one I use is "fine". Works like a champ!!!!

Got the stuff ordered to polish barrel. What would be a good choke for my 870 to shoot 3" loads? 28" barrel. My daughters gonna shoot it and don't want her shooting 3". May even have to drop down to 2 34".

I used a hone as well.  It's the way to go in my opinion.  I think the one I have is "course".  I run it first to knock out all the rough stuff and then I fine polish with the scotchbright and JP bore paste.
